The Government Makes Move, and Warm
and Earnest Debate Ensues.
LONDON, March PIN the House of Com
mons, to-day, Mr.. William Henry Smith First
Lord Of the Treasury, moved that the govern
ment's criminal law amendment bill have pref
erence over all orders Of the day. ireland, he
declared was in disorganized state, and the
government under strong sense of public duty,
was bound to take action in the direction of re-
storing order. The details of the measure would
be stated at the prope- time by the Secretary
for Ireland, but what he now wished to speak
about-in short to urge-was the absolute ne
cessity for the measure, and the vital impor.
tance of its becoming law. Regarding the
amendment offered by Mr.. Morley, Mr. Smith
said he wished to remind the House that Mr..
Gladstone had opposed an amendment exactly
similar in 1881 The present position OF
the government was precisely the same
as Mr.. Gladstone's position at that time Con.
cerninR the government land bill. he said it
would be divided into two parts, one of which
would be introduced immediately. and the other
"a land purchase bill of wide scope-later on
Both would be framed upon principles of hon.
esty and justice. but. ne said. there was hope
whatever that any measure formulated upon
those lines would give satisfaction to the Nation
al League-the sole cause of all the disorganza-
tion and disorder in Ireland. Having, in all fair
ness and justice, prepared this BILL with the sim
ele purpose OF restoring tranquility to Ireland.
the government, in event of the refusal Of the
House to pass the measure. would ask the coun
try to confirm their policy to relieve them OF
further responsibilities.
Mr.. John Morley moved that the House re-

THE ROSLYNDALE ACCIDENT.
Master Mechanic Richards Gives His Theory
as to the Cause of the Disaster.

Boston, March 22-The hearing before the
recent accident on the Boston & Providence
railroad was continued this morning. Master
Mechanic Richards of the Providence railroad,
was recalled. He testified to the condition of
the rails on the Boston side of the bridge Ex-
aminng the broken hangers. Mr.. Richards said
that one never could tell whether a weld was a
good one or not until it was broken, because it
might seem outwardly to be perfect and yet not
be strong inside. From the break could not
judge whether it was all newly broken or not
1t may have been pretty DID,
Commissioner Stevens took up one piece of
rhe hanger, and. after a careful examination.
said: This all broke at the same time
Mr.. Richards said that if he had noticed a
split in the line of the end of one of the hangers.
he would have taken steps to have a new hanger,
well made, put in its place Mr.. Richards then
outlined his present theory of the accident,
based on further examination Of the broken
rail after his attention had been called to it.
He thought, he said, that the engine had broken
the rail some distance from the sbutment The
tender passed the break all right, but turned
the end of the broken rail somewhat, SO that the
trucks of the first car divided and bent the
rail up The forward truck of the second car
caught in the end of the rail, causing the shock
that swept the forward truck to the rear, check
ing that car that the third car telescoped it,
and by the same shock breaking the bridge and
causing its fall. Continuing. Mr. Richards said
the end of the rail had evidently been shattered
by the forward brake beam on the forward
truck of the second car and then struck the
axle gouging piece out of it as it turned. The
rail was then torn from its spikes by catching in
the trucks and was carried along to where it was
found. In his opinion the blow on the axle
was sufficient to have caused all the damage and
derailment

ATTACHED BY NOTE BROKERS.
A Legal Movement That Has Created Some
thing of Sensation in Philadelphia.
Special to the Indianacolis journal.

Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journa!.
PHILADELPHIA, March 22.-An attachment
for 100000 was to-day placed upon the print
works property Of James and John Hunter, at
the instances of Keen. Bodin & Co., note
brokers. Mr.. John Hunter is receiver of taxes
of this city. The Hunters have, from time to
time. secured accommodation notes from Mr..
James Long, president of the Union Trust
Company, aegregating $4,000, without
consideration, but secured by mortgage
upon their property. 1t is stated that
this method Of obtaining funds was adopted by
the firm in order to avoid the circulation OF
paper signed by a public officer in Mr.. John
Hunters position. Lately, Mr. Long had his
attention called to a note in his name indorsed
by John and James Hunter, which he declared
forgery. 1t WAS stated that similar notes,
aggregatng $50. 900, were in existence, besides
the $50 600 which Mr.. Long recognized. This led
to to-day's proceedings. Mr.. John Hunter said
tonight that he knew practically nothing of the
alleged facts. His brother at present in
New York. Mr.. Keen of Keen, Bodin & CO.,
said he did not think for moment that Mr..
John Hunter knew anything of the tran sactous.
He was greatly surprised at the position Of Mr..
James Hunter, whom he had known all his life
as an upright man. Mr.. Long said that he be-
lieved that Mr. James Hunter was the member
of the firm who made Endorsements on the genu-
inc notes, but he knew nothing positively.

THE FISH-BAIT WAR.
Great Excitement at Portland, Caused by the
Arrival of Party of Nova Scotians

Special to the Indianapolis journal.
PORTLAND, Me-, March % Great excitement
was created ~>1ong fishermen along the docks
today by the arrival of the Nova Scotia mer-
chant vessel On Time. with party of Nova
Scotia fishermen on loard. The new arrivals
we're roughly treated by the indignant Ameri
cans. They were greeted with shouts, "Cio back
home," keep out Of three-mile limits"
"Send Captain Quigley here. did you inform
on us2' and the like. In some way the report
gained ground that one of the men who having
sold bait to Captain Doughty, Uniformed on
him" was on board the On Time The report
was false, but had he been here he
might have received very rough treatment
One of the most intelligent of the
strangers said they came here to ship, because
there is 10 money in the fisheries anywhere
else. The big men Of the Dominion care moth
ing for the poor fishermen. The Nova Scotians
wanted the govern ment they formerly had; thew
wanted to sell their bait. 1t is all they have to
sell. Ii they can do this they can make good
living, but otherwise they must half starve
The editors who claim that they don't want
commercial intercourse with the United States
never had big lot Of bait on hand, au emnty
larder at home and big Yankee off shore crazy
to buy. In spite of these statements, none OF
the new arrivals had any faith that intercourse
would be restored. The Portland fishing fleet is
fitting out very fast, and by the last of this
week the larger portion of the schooners will
have sailed Captains are instructed to keep
clear of the Nova Scotia coast but at the same
time the owners, captains and fishermen claim
commercial rights. and will ask to be protected
in the assertion of these rights. Since the re.
turn OF Congressman Reed to Maine the fisher
men seem to have less confidence that President
Cleveland will exercise the power given him by
Congress.

The Litigation over the Storey Estate

OrTAwA ILL.,. March q The Supreme Court
has reversed the finding of the Circuit and Ap-
pellate Courts in the matter Of the will of the
late Wilbur F. Storey. The last will of Mr.
Storey. bequeathing his property, including the
Chicago Times newspaper, is thus declared in
valid. Mr.. Storey left two wills, very similar
in their nature. and the last was offered for
probate. but the point was raised that at the
time of making the will he was not responsible
person. The first will. made some time prior to
the one thrown out it is supposed, will now be
offered for probate

The Dakota Floods.

BISMARCK. d. T.. March 22-No important
changes in the water situation have occurred to-
day. About thirty five passengers were trans
ferred to-day between here aud Mandan in
yawls. There is not the slightest indication yet
of the weakening of the gorge at Sibley island.
Apple creek, east of this city, has swollen con-
siderably to-day, and the railroad bridge over
this streaA was at one time submerged several
inches, threatening stoppage of trains at a
point four miles east. The situation can now
hardly become more serious. 1t will probably
remain unchanged until the gorge gives way.
